About This Home

As of November 2020

Relax, work and play in this beautiful 1915 Craftsman home just blocks from the North Berkeley BART, Totland, Monterey Market and North Shattuck shops. Lovely original details and loads of light grace an updated farmhouse kitchen that opens out to a deck and spacious yard filled with fruit trees. Two additional rooms in an outbuilding provide extra space - current owners enjoyed using one as a yoga studio and one as a home office. Move right into this special 2+BR home or proceed with the backyard ADU or the second story addition. ADU is shovel-ready, and an Administrative Use Permit has been issued for a 2nd Story home expansion.
